mitch update
mitch is doing great.. they took him off the respirator last night, and this morning they took the breathing tubes out.. he was still tired and groggy when i left, but he was off the sedatives, and looking as close to normal as can be expected.. we're all hoping that he'll get moved out of the picu tonight, and maybe be released wednesday or thursday.. i'll keep you posted!!
right where he wanted to be... in mommy's arms....

scared....
tell me this isn't one of the most absolutely gorgeous little boys you've ever seen.... you can't do it without lying!!
ok.. so my mom like NEVER calls me anymore unless some thing's wrong.. but, thank God she calls me then... i had a voicemail when i got up today.. it was mom.. so i knew something was wrong.. and she was crying.. even worse.. so as i listen to the message, i almost start crying.. my sister took my youngest nephew, mitch (who is 21 months old), to mary rutan last night because he had a fever of 103 that wouldn't break no matter what she tried, he wasn't eating, and he was having a hard time breathing.. mary rutan, without even running any tests says he has bronchitis.. so my sister says, well why won't he eat then? and then they run a cat scan or something, and when the results come back, they find an abscess in his throat... and then they tell her to take him to children's in columbus.. so she does, and when they get there, mitch flatlined... they brought him back (THANK GOD!!!), and decide they need to operate.. so now, he's hooked up to a respirator, has a drainage tube in his throat, and he's got iv's.. they told ashley that if it had been 5 minutes later, they would have had to put in a trach... they have him sedated right now, and i think they're going to try to wake him up tomorrow.. so, i'm pulling an all-nighter so i can get to columbus early... i will post updates as soon as possible.. just please keep mitch in your prayers...
this is what he looked like when ashley got to childrens... );
